The Holy Empire of Ashas Favor is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Benjamin Blythe with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 7.99 billion Favorites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry is also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jericho. The average income tax rate is 3.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ashas Favorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,157 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,885 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, billions of Dollars are spent to take high-quality photos of the English Bulldog Nebula, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ashas Favor's national animal is the English Bulldog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Ashas Favor is ranked 312,728th in the world and 59th in Ensio for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring -11.4 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
